Topic: Potency, Power & Potential: Homeopathy and Removing Blocks to Self-Change

Classical or Traditional Homeopathy is a medical science. It was developed by a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann, M.D., nearly 200 years ago. Hahnemann discovered a natural law of cure and coined the term “homeopathy” to describe it. Breaking the word down we have-- homeo (same) and pathos (suffering).

According to the principles of homeopathy, diseases can be cured only when the human organism is stimulated by medicines capable of producing symptoms in a pattern similar to the disease in question. When medicines are given that oppose or suppress symptoms, one may temporarily feel better, but the disease condition is not actually cured. In fact suppression often leads to the worsening of one's health. This is why we have so much chronic disease in our society.

A common example of suppression is the treatment of childhood eczema. The standard approach is to apply steroid creams or ointments to force the skin inflammation into remission. Once discontinued, the skin usually flares right back up. If suppressed for the longterm, children with eczema often improve on their skin, only to develop a deeper illness such as asthma, usually as the skin condition gets under reasonable “control”.

Guest: Trader Selkirk

Trader Selkirk was born in Jamaica and raised in Canada. When he was 17 he was accepted at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, graduated 3 years later and enjoyed a successful career as an actor in the UK. He was on his way back to Toronto to do some summer stock and a film when he stopped in New York. That was it. He knew where he was meant to be.

He was studying to be a Religious Science practitioner when he met Louise Hay, who became his practitioner and mentor and friend. He was for many years a spiritual counselor in New York and in the early ‘90’s moved back to London where he was introduced to homeopathy. He immediately enrolled at the Devon School of Homeopathy and finished 5 years later. He has been practicing homeopathy now for over ten years and 3 years ago moved to Los Angeles. It was Louise Hay who said, “Darling, you’ll do so well in California, because everyone’s into all natural.” Of course, the fact that everyone’s really into drugs and face-lifts hasn’t fazed Trader – he doesn’t perform face-lifts but he can help people recover and not look like road kill.
